Did happen, and another strong performance with good sound. Crowd was down on recent but band has a great knack of getting everyone interested as set progresses. Set was same as last couple, and have to admit that Boomtown Rats track is proving increasingly popular. My theory is it looks like the rest of band have warmed to it more, so the enthusiasm rubs off.

Bob threw everyone, including bandmates, with an odd and not entirely successful staccato 'rap style' first verse of Rat Trap, a bit like the section of When the Night Comes 'later up in marketing' etc etc, and he cut down the suit story, preferring to lambast Norway for being '****ing freezing' midsummer. Very scenic setting though.

I've got a couple snaps I'll load sometime but there's a good selection at http://www.glomdalen.no/kultur/article7433955.ece

Crowd looks sparse enough (photos 18, 19)- though maybe this is unfair? Gary is wearing glasses in these photos, does that mean he'll get the chords right now smile
